406 Stroker help

First off i'd like to say this site is awesome! Now for my question, i'm wanting to build a 406 stroker motor. I tore down the 400 i bought yesterday and it's already got 5.7" rods in it. So does this mean all I have to do to make it a 406 stroker is bore it 0.30 over? Now I know alot of guy's are going to say replace the rod's with some H-beam's or atleast some new I-beam's but i'm not building a race motor. Now granted I want some pep don't get me wrong. As long as the stock rod's are good shape wouldn't they be good for 400-450 h.p or would you without a doubt replace them...? If i'm not mistaken a 400 came with either 5.7" or 6.0" rods, correct? Thanks for the input guy's!
